Emergency services were alerted to the victim lying on the pavement. The State Attorney General's Office (PGJE) confirmed that investigators were dispatched to the scene to begin their inquiry. The man was transported to a local hospital for medical attention.

According to preliminary reports, the victim was allegedly removed from a vehicle at the location. Investigators are treating the case as a potential crime against personal liberty. The injuries sustained by the man are reportedly minor, expected to heal within 15 days.
